Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: All Endings Guide

Overview of Phantom Liberty Endings

Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion features four distinct endings, all of which hinge on critical dialogue choices made during two key Main Jobs: “Firestarter” and either “Killing Moon” or “Somewhat Damaged.” These choices determine Songbird’s fate, Reed’s actions, and ultimately, V’s future, including the possibility of unlocking a new ending for the base game.

The four endings are categorized as King of Wands, King of Swords, King of Cups, and King of Pentacles. Each ending results from a specific path initiated by your decision in “Firestarter,” followed by a final crucial choice in a subsequent mission. The consequences of these endings vary significantly, impacting V, Songbird, Reed, and Alex, and even providing unique iconic items.

The Firestarter Decision

The first and most pivotal decision point in Phantom Liberty’s main story occurs during the “Firestarter” Main Job. This mission involves V and Alex infiltrating Hansen’s meeting with the netrunner twins. Your choice here irrevocably splits the narrative path, leading to different subsequent missions and available endings.

If you choose to help Songbird escape, Alex will kill Kurt Hansen, and Songbird will assist V in escaping the stadium. This path unlocks “The Killing Moon” quest and locks you out of Solomon Reed’s questline. Conversely, if you decide to help Reed capture Songbird, Songbird will go cyberpsycho upon realizing the betrayal, and Kurt will kill Alex. V will then need to defeat Hansen in a boss fight to escape the stadium, which unlocks a series of quests culminating in “Somewhat Damaged.”

The Killing Moon and Somewhat Damaged Choices

Following your decision in “Firestarter,” the narrative branches, leading to a second critical choice that determines the final outcome.

If you helped Songbird escape (The Killing Moon)

During “The Killing Moon,” V accompanies Songbird to the Tycho terminal station. Here, Songbird reveals that the neural matrix can only be used once and that she lied about curing both of you. A crucial dialogue moment at the end of this quest presents two options:

To get the King of Wands ending, you must pick up Songbird (dialogue options like “Time to go, So Mi.” or “Wake the hell up.”) and then, when confronted by Reed, choose to draw your weapon or initiate the slow-mo sequence to kill him (dialogue options like “Reed, dammit!” or “Draw weapon | Sorry, man.”). If you fail to kill Reed during this sequence, he will kill V, requiring a reload. Reed’s iconic tech pistol, Pariah, can be looted from his body. For the King of Swords ending, you can either call Reed directly (“Reed’ll take care of you.”) or pick up Songbird and then choose to holster your weapon, handing her over to Reed (“Holster weapon | All yours, but you’ll help me live on.” or “Holster weapon | Take her. Don’t want nothin’ in return.”).

If you helped Reed capture Songbird (Somewhat Damaged)

This path leads to the “Somewhat Damaged” main quest. During this mission, you will again face a critical decision regarding Songbird’s fate:

The choice here is straightforward: either end Songbird’s misery or refuse to do so. This decision directly leads to one of the two endings on this path.

Ending Details and Consequences

Each of the four Phantom Liberty endings carries unique consequences for V, the supporting characters, and the rewards received.

King of Wands - Kill Reed in Killing Moon

This ending is often considered by some to align with V and Johnny’s philosophies. Songbird survives and travels to Luna, escaping NUSA control. V and Johnny are left without a cure, but Songbird’s successful operation is later confirmed by a metal pin from Tycho found in a hermetic container during the “From Her to Eternity” Main Job. V also receives Songbird’s iconic Quantum Tuner cyberdeck. Alex gets her “sunny retirement” in Monte Carlo after sharing a final drink with V in “Unfinished Sympathy,” and later sends a postcard confirming her new life.

King of Swords - Hand Songbird Over to Reed in Killing Moon

In this ending, V hands Songbird over to Reed. This path leads to the “Through Pain to Heaven” Main Job.

King of Cups - End Songbird’s Misery in Somewhat Damaged

This ending results from choosing to kill Songbird during the “Somewhat Damaged” mission.

King of Pentacles - Refuse to Kill Songbird in Somewhat Damaged

If V refuses to kill Songbird in “Somewhat Damaged,” this ending is triggered.

It’s important to note that two of the four Phantom Liberty endings can unlock a new alternate ending for the base game, providing a different conclusion to V’s overall story that does not involve Hanako or “Nocturne Op55n1.” The specific endings that enable this new base game ending are not explicitly detailed in the provided sources, as of June 22, 2026.
